Responding to Sash, we suggest that our site, like Fast and Testimony meeting, is not a place to engage in debate, but a place for folks who have common beliefs to share and strengthen one another. We do not encourage anyone to go to Church activities and make the kinds of statements there that they do on Signing for Something.

I disagree with Sash’s comment of us being “heavy on the aggressive side,” rather I think we are willing to allow anyone who wants to speak out in favor of gay marriage or in opposition to the church’s political stance. You will note that our site is not an “anti” site filled with statements about the Adam-God doctrine, Joseph Smith’s polygamy, Book of Abraham revelations, Kinderhook plates, etc. although some people have mentioned some of these kinds of issues occasionally. Our purpose is not to “bring down” the church, but rather to speak out in hopes that the leadership might just hear the voices of the minority.

Despite who our church aligns itself with in this area, our church is a minority and many of the posters to Signing for Something fear that regardless of the outcome of the Prop 8 battle (but much more ominously if it passes) the very coalition that we joined, will eventually turn on us and attack us. We are a very distinct minority also.

So, there are lots of voices heard at Signing for Something. But, just as fast and testimony meeting isn’t a place to state that you don’t believe Thomas S. Monson is a prophet, Signing for Something isn’t a place to support Proposition 8.

Best wishes.

Thanks for your comments. I want to stress that I am not part of the Signing for Something team running the site, so I can’t really speak for their reasons for not keeping a section devoted for opposing viewpoints. Frankly speaking, most of the opposing viewpoints I’ve heard or have read (apart from whatever may have gone through the screening on the site) are heavy with quotes from Leviticus and light on any valid arguments approaching even the slightest insight to the function of government and constitutional principle.

As for resignation, it’s actually surprising that the site isn’t pushing for this more. The conversation leading to the launch of the site can be found here. It should be noted that Signing for Something has no official connection with PostMormon.org. Edit: Signing for Something is now an affiliate of PostMormon.org
